Ah, the legacy Trunker application. It's known to mis-decode the data stream.

Here's what I get with Trunk88 after very few minutes of monitoring (two to three). I had to stop and restart the program after it populated the frequency information due to a human error - so you just see the two minutes (roughly) after startup the second time around. All of these frequencies were populated automatically by the software, not hand-entered.

Yea, Trunker 88 looks good.
What do you mean "not hand entered." How would you do it and why?

Trunk88 makes it really easy to modify any of the configuration information while the program is running. You can change (and then apply) the bandplan, so if a system pops up with channels 440-559 and they're "wrong", you can change it to rebanded and then apply the change and the frequencies update. Or, you can manually edit them without doing the bandplan stuff.

All of the system is also saved in one file, so you don't have to keep track of multiple files for one system.

And something that is really cool is the data that gets recorded for radios:

You've got Radio ID, a description, priority info, color info, last-seen date, and all the talkgroups affiliated on (count = 0) or transmitted on (count > 0).

ETA: You also have pretty much full control over where all of the display elements are positioned on the screen. It wasn't really intuitive for me to set up the layout in that screen shot, but once you understand what you're doing, it's pretty straigtforward. There is a default layout that looks much different, but it's all customizable (including colors for all sorts of stuff).
